Rise. and. shine! Get up and seize the day! You can do anything under the sun...when the sun powers everything. Your phone, your home, and all that's in between. This is life on the golden grid. But is it the utopia we thought it would be? In 2018, the state of California passed a law requiring all new houses to be built with solar panels after 2020. Now you might think that sounds both extreme and unfair, considering it will raise home prices by as much as $12,000. But it's a lot more sensible than you think.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
